The Jos Metropolitan Development Board on Friday says it generated N119 million revenue from January this year to date.
Mathias Hata, JMDB General Manager, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Jos that the amount was 54.5 per cent higher than its N77 million revenue target for 2016.
According to him, most of the earnings are receipts from building plans approval and other property belonging to the board in various parts of the state.
Hata acknowledged that the year was very challenging for the board, with so many of its projects unaccomplished due to lack of funds.
Hata said: “It has been so bad that even some of our major road projects have been left with pot-holes and so many others totally abandoned.
“But all outstanding projects will be tackled in 2017.”
He said that the board would embark on a lot of beautification, road construction and repairs, including maintenance works, around the state next year.
